Geography

Geography Overview

At St Werburgh’s Geography is taught through topic-led work. Our curriculum overviews show the topics taught.  We make these topics meaningful, relevant and exciting by having visitors in or going out to engage in first-hand experiences.

In Geography we focus on teaching children the geographical skills and knowledge that is needed to understand both places and issues including learning about the processes and consequences of change in different environments. The local environment is frequently used as a learning resource, with children looking at how the area of Birkenhead has changed. The children investigate some of the problems that local, national and international areas face, both at present and in the future.
